Among the most important items are the Little Bag, Small Bag,
Identify Wand, Black Gem, Hydra Blood, Scarab of Insanity and Tomb
Room Key; other items you can take or leave as needed (though it is
wise to keep all keys, scrolls, potions, wands and rings). The
Little Bag is most useful for inventory control, because anything
placed in it is immediately teleported to the Guest Room (as
characters can also be by "entering" the bag). If you are holding
too much, place the unnecessary booty in the Little Bag. Later you
can "enter" the Little Bag and teleport back to retrieve it. You
must enter the Small Bag in order to gain access to a locked-off
portion of the third level. The Identify Wand in the Gouged Hole
between the first and second levels can help you identify items:
hold the wand and use the appropriate spells listed in the
documentation. The Black Gem opens the doors in the Gateway when
placed in the Demon Mouth. Committing suicide while standing on
the Iron Pentagram with the burning Hydra Blood will teleport you
to another dimension, where the Tomb Room Key can be obtained;
another suicide in the corresponding pentagram brings you back
where you started. Difficult opponents can be killed by missile
fire (such as poisoned darts) from the next room; then you simply
wait a few rounds for them to die. One way to do this is to save
often and, after learning your opponent's name, revert back a few
moves to an adjacent location; this way, you can "shoot at [the
enemy]" from safety. Don't waste time fighting the Granite Statue
or Gelatinous Cube; just pass by as quickly as possible. The enemy
attacks your party leaders, so if a leader's health is low, split
the group and join the leader to another party. Poisoned or
injured players can be cured with certain potions, while sleeping
also restores an unpoisoned character's health to normal. If you
health is too low, choose a safe place to drink a sleep potion.
